No two reference books
completely agree on which colors various models were finished in, and during which time
period. We've done our best to compile the available information into a useful
reference format. The situation is further complicated by Jaguar's policy of making
non-standard interior and exterior color combinations available at extra cost for most if
not all models. We welcome your feedback on this page if you have definitive
information about this subject!

Want to see some of
these colors? If so follow this
link to the superb site of Roger Los. He
has provided a visualization of various color combinations for the Series 1 E -Type. Many
of these colors are the same as the sedans featured on this page. (our thanks to
Roger for permission to use this link)

Custom
Paint (including two tone finishes) and interior colors were available from the factory at
extra cost
officially produced from October 1950 to September 1954 (after which the MK VII became the
MK VIIM and continued in production until July 1957)

Two tone colors had the darker color above the waist strip
and is listed first above.

Other solid and two tone color combinations were, as
always, available to special order, and at extra cost.

Notice the overlap in production between the MK VIII and
the MK IX. This was a common practice for Jaguar
